Just a quick update on our Iraqi Jihadist here in Nashville.
From WSMV 4 in Nashville
The F.B.I. says it has foiled a terrorist plot in Nashville by arresting a man who bought automatic weapons at a local Krispy Kreme donut shop on Thompson Lane. 33-year-old Ahmed Hassan Al-Uqaily was caught Thursday after buying machine guns, handguns, ammunition and hand grenades from an undercover agent.
Channel 4 News’ Susan Harding reported that Al-Uqaily has lived in Nashville since 1991 and lived at at least four different addresses. His name has often appeared in the media over the last few months as an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq.
Federal authorities said Friday they arrested Al-Uqaily during a sting operation set up after he made threats about "going Jihad." Al-Uqaily was arrested Thursday afternoon as he was putting weapons he had purchased from an undercover agent into his car, according to an affidavit from FBI agent Greg Franklin.
According to Nashville police, Al-Uqaily was arrested for assault in 1997.

Also from WTVF 5 in Nashville:
Dr. Amir Arain is a member of Nashville's Muslim community. He says community members are stunned by the arrest of fellow a Muslim in an alleged terror plot against Jews.
Al-Uqaily told the individual during the meeting that he was angry about the state of affairs in Iraq and that he was going “jihad” and going to blow something up. Now there’s fear the accusations may put Nashville’s 15-thousand other Muslims in a bad light.
“He’s not a representative of the Muslim community here in Nashville. He has no association with the Muslim Community,” Arain said.
So far, Dr. Arain says there hasn't been any retaliation against the Muslim community because of the arrest. In fact, he says there hasn't been any violence against the community since the days immediately following 9-11. But, there is tight security around Nashville's four Mosques just in case.
Arain also says that in the United States Jewish people are a representative of Israel. Because Muslims are at odds with Israelis across the globe, he says that may have been the reason for the threat.

I personally know this guy. I am an american muslim woman. I am married to his friend who is too from IRAQ. They came her to get away from SADDAM HUSSAIN. And to live in peace. All the writings on his car are just peace statements. If the USA has FREEEDOM OF SPEECH then why is those statements so wrong. Its all because he is from IRAQ and because he is a muslim that he is being framed. I am standed beside him through all of this.
This is no joke in Nashville. I hired an exterior painter last spring, who was a muslim. I had no idea. I fired him when he spoke he anti Isreal BS and we will kill all Jews BS. The man was from Turkey. Do not think this country is not full of this haters.
One of the joys and pains of free expression. People can express personal views to their heart's content.
